The toughest division?

As coach Wade Phillips points out, the Dallas Cowboys play in a diffcult division. The NFC East is not the toughest division in the NFL this season.

Based on games outside the division, the AFC South is the toughest group in the league. Its four teams are a combined 24-12 in games outside the division. Having Indianapolis helps the AFC South’s case. The Colts are 8-1 outside the division.

The NFC East has the second-best inter-division record at 22-16. Philadelphia and the Cowboys both went 7-3 outside the division.

The weakest division? The NFC West, by a landslide. Its teams are 12-26 outside the division.
